The reinforcements to accommodate the Trophy B-kit have created a bit of work, with the rearmost upright of the turret side rails being the trickiest. Getting those webs even close to right was challenging. Of course, neither side of this part is symmetrical!
Also visible is the extended antenna mount.
I’ve been putting off the rework of the Blue Force Tracker box, but I think it is now time.
Thanks for looking in.
That’s looking very nice. I think you’re got the right size on the teeth. I have no idea if you can see it in 1/16, but the teeth to not come to a point where they meet on the inner portion. They have sort of a “step” over to the next toorth. If you expand this you can see what I mean:
Thanks @18bravo - yep know what you mean, the “flat” between the outer surface of the teeth is mirrored on the inside surface. I chose sanity, so it’s close but not 100% prototypical. Working to 0.395 of a degree for a 30 degree segment was tedious enough for me! Nice pic, btw.
The Blue Force Tracker box &, more specifically, the patch panel underneath, is at the intersection of three surfaces at a five degree, 30-degree, & 45-degree angles. Add the bustle rack to the equation, & it gets complicated quickly.
As such, I’ve mocked up digital twins of some of the components. These are then printed & validated. Sometimes they’re more distant cousins than twins, so some refinement is needed.
Here’s the overall view:
Here’s a closer view.
The patch panel underneath the BFT box is the tricky bit.
Thanks for looking in.
